Wow, thank you to everyone for the replies! I wasn't expecting to receive so many and so quickly.
Based on all the excellent advice, my next step will be to identify which available groups meet my time constraints and then contact the operator to determine if they offer AOW training during the trip. Most trips seemed to be 5 days/4 nights, however, I might try to find one that's 3 days/2 nights if possible (there weren't as many) to limit the potential for fatigue. Would this be too short for an AOW course?
I'll also look into getting my Nitrox certification at the dive center where I finish my OW certification dives.
Thanks again!
